K AND Q HOOKS
YARN CUT FOR SCRAP SCARF

KNOT #1

KNOT #2

SCRAPPY SCARF (CAN BE USED AS A BELT OR DECORATIVE GARLAND)

K HOOK, LOOSE CROCHET, THIN SOFT YARN, LIKE LION BRAND HOMESPUN.
DO FOUNDATION ROW AND 1 MORE ROW DBL. CROCHET OR HALF DBL. CROCHET.  I MADE THIS ONE VERY LONG, SO I CAN WRAP IT AROUND MY NECK SEVERAL TIMES.  FINISHED SIZE IS: 72 IN. LONG (PREVIOUS SMALLER SCARF WAS 48 IN. LONG FINISHED SIZE)
PLEASE SEE PICTURE BELOW FOR A FINISHED SCARF

YOU WILL NEED SCARP PIECES OF YARN, ALL COLORS.  I CUT THEM INTO 10 IN. SIZE STRIPS.  USE UP ALL THE LEFTOVERS FROM OTHER PROJECTS!  INSERT THESE INTO HOLES ON OUTSIDE OF CROC. PIECE.  I DID EVERY OTHER HOLE, ALL THE WAY AROUND ON SIDE.  YOU KNOT IT EITHER LIKE A KNOT WHEN YOUR SHOE IS TIED, OR LOOP AROUND FINGER & PULL INTO A KNOT- SEE PICTURES.  YOU CAN DO EV. HOLE FOR A FULLER SCARF OR DO BOTH SIDES OF IT.  HAVE FUN!

STARTING TO ATTACH YARN . 

The more yarn pieces you attach, the fuller the scarf!

YOU CAN JUST DO ONE SIDE & WRAP AROUND NECK, BUT IT WON'T BE VERY FULL.

Scarf with out scraps of yarninto every other croc. hole. Tie the ends together.  Wrap around ponytail.  This can also be made into a bracelet.  Experiment with colors!

Recycle Tip for June:
I like to create original items from yarn.   To store my items, I use the plastic bags that the newspaper  carrier uses on those rainy days.  The rubber bands that are around the papers can be saved to put around the shoeboxes I pack for Operation Christmas Child!
